User Benefits

- The tearing strength of fabrics can be measured in accordance with ASTM D4533.

Introduction

Every day, we change into various clothes according to the season, time of day, situation, and scene. For example, in the summer during the day we wear a T-shirt that breathes well, and in the cold winter a down jacket that keeps us warm. Also, if we work in the field, we should wear work clothes that are sturdy and easy to move in. Depending on what values are prioritized, such as comfort, functionality, and design, different performance is required for clothing, and new products are produced every day. As clothing is a product, it requires strength evaluation to ensure a certain level of quality. ASTM D4355 describes methods for measuring the tearing strength of woven and non- woven geotextiles that are essential to our daily lives. This article presents an example of trapezoid tear testing of fabrics in accordance with the ASTM D4533.
